[5.4] Pass the condition value to "when"

[JosephSilber]

So that this:

$role = $request->input('role');

$users = User::when($role, function ($query) use ($role) {
    return $query->where('role_id', $role);
})->get();

becomes this:

$users = User::when($request->input('role'), function ($query, $role) {
    return $query->where('role_id', $role);
})->get();

Kinda clever.

This should have been added to the documentation. Came here through http://laraveldaily.com/less-know-way-conditional-queries/?utm_content=buffer39804&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer I am on my phone now. If I get time later I will make a PR to the docs.

Still not in docs..?

I am again on my phone 😬

I will (again) try to look at it in a few minutes once I am behind my desk :)
